Page: 187 / 560

Warning the Driver
The alert symbol will
flash on the HUD and
a warning beep will
sound when driver
action may be required.
The driver warning is active when:
•
You are approaching a vehicle too quickly.
•
You are following a vehicle ahead much
too closely.
See Defensive Driving on page 316 for more
information.
Detecting the Vehicle Ahead
The vehicle ahead symbol will only appear on the
HUD when a vehicle ahead of you is detected in
your path. If this symbol does not appear, or
disappears briefly, FCA will not respond to vehicles
you may see ahead. The symbol may disappear on
curves, highway exit ramps, or hills. Also, when
another vehicle enters the same lane as you, the
FCA system will not detect the vehicle until it is
completely in your driving lane.
{
CAUTION:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is
blocked by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not
detect a vehicle ahead. FCA may not
help you avoid a collision under these
conditions. Do not use FCA when the radar
is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your
radar clean. See “Cleaning the System”
under
Adaptive Cruise Control on page 197 .
{
CAUTION:
FCA may not detect and warn soon
enough to stationary or slow-moving
vehicles or other objects ahead of you.
You could crash into an object ahead
of you. Do not rely on FCA when
approaching stationary or slow-moving
vehicles or other objects.
